All Black and Blue (Navy)

For years combining navy and black had me cringing! No way - that is a terrible look, I'd think. Those colors clash and are just too dark. Well, I've changed. I love color, but found myself really drawn to mixing these 2 dark shades. It all the sudden seemed classy and sophisticated to me.

I saw this inspiration on JCrew.com and immediately wanted to recreate it myself:

Then I realized I also look a lot like some new wall decor (we've yet to get up on the wall) we got for that big yellow wall you see behind me. So really, inspiration from J.Crew AND my home. A before and after of that big yellow wall to come soon...
